Re: dwarf peach under attack

Peach leaf curl!! Pull those leaves off and fertilize the heck our of it.
The new leaves may come out okay.
Some use manure tea to fertilize right on the unaffected leaves and
branches.  Next year you must dormant spray three times. The way to
remember when to spray, a lime sulfer or copper spray, is on Thanksgiving,
again on Christmas and the main time, Valentines day. That way you will
never see peach leaf curl again.
